Undead Creep are a band from Italy that plays a Swedish style of death metal and this is a review of their 2011 album "The Ever Burning Torch" which was released by Dark Descent Records and also contains their self titled demo.

Drums range from slow, midpaced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in at times, while the synths when they are utilized briefly on the first song bring a very dark and atmospheric edge to the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, midpaced to fast Swedish style death metal riffs that are also melodic at times, while the lead guitars are very distorted and melodic sounding Swedish death metal sounding guitar solos and at times they sound very powerful, as for the classical guitars which are only used on the instrumental and the intro for the demo they bring a dark sound to the music.

Vocals are a mixture of deep death metal growls and high pitched screams, while the lyrics cover Occultism, gore and violence, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and heavy sound to it.

In my opinion Undead Creep are a very good Swedish style death metal band with a more dark and occult take on the genre and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band.
